We just came back from our trip here and it was AMAZING! This was our first time staying here and it was so so great!! The resort itself is extremely family friendly, which we loved having our daughter with us. Everyone we interacted with was so helpful and happy! So many cast members were excited to play with our daughter which we loved! When checking in we received the schedule of events, maps and rental guides as well! The room and amenities were clean and well taken care of. Parking was available but not always close to your room, but also the walks weren't bad as everywhere on property was so pretty! All of the rooms had either a balcony or patio space as well. You have private beach access, the ability to rent a variety of beach items, pool, splash pad, mini golf and more! They had a schedule of activities (similar to what you would get on a cruise ship!) and so much to do to stay busy. Overall the resort was beautiful and we can't wait to come visit again! read more

The room was a good size it was a corner room with a view of the pool area and the ocean, the bathroom was sufficient, there's a mini fridge and some plates and silverware. There was a bead and couch that converts to a bed (easily) overall the room was nice. The pool was pretty warm, the ocean was a little chilly, the slide was fun there's also mini golf, pool table, bars, tennis, shuffle board ect. We parked across the street and walked in the tunnel that was interesting. I enjoyed this resort! The no-se-um were Awful but it's not the resorts fault. read more

Disney's Vero Beach Resort - A Hidden Gem with That Signature Disney Magic! If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway without losing that iconic Disney touch, Disney's Vero Beach Resort is an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, the cast members made us feel like VIPs -- friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile with a smile.

Our room was spotless, cozy, and carried that Disney-standard cleanliness and comfort. Whether you're lounging by the pool, enjoying a character breakfast, or just taking in the sunrise on the beach, everything feels thoughtfully designed to maintain that magical atmosphere. The character breakfast with Goofy and Pluto made my granddaughters day, maybe week or even year Perfect for families or couples looking for a quieter slice of Disney, this resort proves you don't need to be in the parks to experience the Disney magic. We'll definitely be back! read more

As a DVC member this was a resort we wanted to come see. We were sailing on a cruise and added a few nights here before we sailed. We have absolutely fell in love this Disneys Vero Beach Resort! The grounds, beach access, and views are beautiful. It's a smaller resort than we are used to which makes getting around nice and easy. There is so much to do from the pool and beach to mini golf, games, activities and crafts you will not be bored! The cast members have all been amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

The usual white glove Disney experience! This resort is right on the beach. Come for a quiet beach getaway. It seems to be populated with a higher percentage of retired patrons. And YT patrons. Could be the location. The fitness room is tricked out with the most amazing setup! Honestly the best of any DVC experience or any hotel/resort I have stayed at. Limited food option- 1 sit down restaurant, one quick service counter (that opens late) and a coffee counter (that also opens late) plus a couple bars. Make sure you have access to a car so you can drive in to Vero Beach for dinner or get groceries to grill. Cast members are phenomenal. Grounds are well maintained and easy to traverse with many family oriented activities. You can rent beach chairs and umbrella for $30 a day as well. You have to clean them off yourself. read more

Like all things Disney...this is a happy, happy place, full of joyful families from out of town here for the sun, sand and surf! The pool complex delights the kids and the Saturday morning character breakfast with the children is delightful fun. All managed by professional memory makers. We love it here! read more

After nearly a decade as Disney Vacation Club members and countless magical trips to Walt Disney World, we finally took a chance on Disney's Vero Beach Resort -- and we're so glad we did. This trip was a last-minute decision after a delayed booking window, and what began as a backup plan quickly turned into one of the most enjoyable Disney experiences we've ever had. The resort itself is charming -- small, peaceful, and full of character. While it doesn't boast the bells and whistles of the Orlando parks, it lacks absolutely nothing. The beach is wide open and easily accessible, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and the rooms reminded us of a cozy, scaled-down version of the Riviera Resort. But what truly made this stay exceptional -- what will keep us coming back year after year -- is the phenomenal cast. Ali, the Guest Experience Manager, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Lenora and Rosa greeted us each day with warmth, genuine kindness, and a sense of belonging that's hard to describe. And to the many other amazing team members we encountered -- thank you for making us feel not just welcomed, but seen. At every Disney resort, we've been greeted with smiles and a "Welcome Home," but Vero Beach felt warmer. More personal. More like family. Coming back each evening wasn't just returning to a hotel -- it was returning to see our new friends, who remembered us, laughed with us, and made sure we enjoyed every moment. Moving forward, we'll be splitting our yearly Disney time between the parks and Vero Beach -- because now we can't imagine a trip without seeing this incredible team that truly makes magic in their own way. Thank you, Ali, Lenora, Rosa, and the entire Vero Beach crew. You've earned lifelong fans in us. read more

Disney's Vero Beach Resort is unlike any of the other places with the Disney name. The resort is quiet and truly relaxing. There is no need to leave the resort when they provide every thing you need. They have a coffee / bar on the second floor. Full service restaurant, quick service restaurant and a outdoor bar. The resort also has a pool, kids area, mini golf and loads of other activities. But the jewel of this resort is the private beach. You can rent a chair, umbrella, cabana and enjoy listening to the waves. Disney's Vero Beach is a slice of paradise. read more

This resort is the same quality as other DVC resorts I've stayed at in the past. The Beach is great and so is the pool.... very relaxing vibe vs the hustle of the resorts near the theme park. Unfortunately, my daughter and I were bitten by "no see ums" so much we checked out early.... the staff was so kind and understanding, gave us supplies to Try to calm the bug bites... YES we used the provided bug lotions.. still got bit. My son on the other hand, not one bite and he never put the bug lotion on... I guess she and I had bad luck with bugs... no bug bites I'd rate this place a 4 or 5 read more

I wanted to take a quick vacation close to West Palm Beach. I discovered the Disney Vero Beach resort when I went to show my client Homes in Vero Beach. I booked this hotel. The experience was 10 out of 10 it was such a home feeling very small and excellent service. The food was great. We had champagne service. I ended up misplacing my prada glasses and I filed a missing report with them and they mailed it to me within the next week. This resort is always booked. I suggest booking ahead of time we wanted to stay longer, but they were very booked out because of spring break. It's right on the beach. The beach is literally in the backyard. They have a waterpark very kid friendly place. read more

We LOVE Vero Beach resort! The whole atmosphere is super calm. It's a hidden gem here in the Treasure Coast. The staff is super kind and welcoming. We love the campfire & s'mores.

My boyfriend and I came for a 1-night getaway the night before the pool, mini golf course and other outdoor amenities closed for refurbishment. It was pouring rain when we arrived at 10:30am but the room was ready straight away which was so nice. We grabbed a quick lunch at the poolside marketplace and listened to the DJ play at the pool (yes there were still people swimming and laying out even though it was raining). The resort is so small in the best way - we were able to pop back to our studio almost every hour if we needed to grab a beverage or make an outfit change (the weather went from rain to sun to clouds and breeze). Shoutout to the rental department, they didn't charge for putt-putt or other trivial activities; I imagine because it was such a dreary day. The Green Cabin Lounge opened at 5pm for light bites and trivia. The Wind and Waves grills requires reservations so we made a 7:30pm dinner reservation and were actually too full from the appetizers and Dole Whip from earlier to order our own entrees. My one regret from the trip is filling up on snacks because the bacon crusted salmon over creamy gnocchi looked so good! At 8:30 we proceeded to the campfire where there was a singalong and s'mores. Brendan and Connor were great at leading the songs and making everyone feel like a kid. There was a good mix of families with children and adults that came as couples/groups. I thought it was a perfect Christmas gift to my partner! The Wind and Waves grill offers breakfast as well and I got the key lime stuffed waffles which were top notch (bacon was very thin though) read more

Our favorite hotel ever. I am serious. Look at my other reviews. This place is fantastic. I have been going here for my life and the staff knows us. Well now time for the actual review. We have spent about 6 months in Vero and it has been fantastic. The resort is just outside of the nice small town of Vero Beach. There are many nice restrants there here are some:Squid Lips, Taco Dive, Mulligans, American Icon, I could go on. There are so many fun places for people of all ages like the nearby nature center. The central building is so beautiful. It smells fantastic and is a wonder to the eyes. There is a mosaic of a turtle at the center and many windows for the natural light. Just outside of the building is a path with vegetation taking you to the Mickey shaped pool. Everything here is a marvel for the eyes and the pool is no exception. There is a water slide where there are races hosted. All throughout the day there are games by the pool. On the weekends a DJ (shout out to Dulin, hes the dj) who comes and makes it a blast. Involving kids and adults alike. Around the pool deck there is a kids area with a pirate ship they will love and a mini golf coarse. You can take bikes, play tennis, ping pong, pool, and shuffleboard also around the pool deck. The beach is nice as well and it kept nice. In the morning there are turtle hatching. Near the pool there are a variety of food options. There is a bar and a market. The market has quick food like sandwiches and burgers. It's also a great place for dinner. The staff is very nice and is knowledgeable about the many items. The resturant is a different story. There is a nice kids menu and 4 specials but there aren't many other options so look at the specials ahead of time. The staff like always is nice. The staff here is the best part. They are so welcoming and nice to all and will talk to you like a real person. They recognize you and tell you their interesting life stories. At the campfires they bring the energy and it is a lot of fun. I am going to name drop some of them(Brandon, Catelyn, Landon, Connor, Deb, and many more). Now the room. There was a recent renovation that now in the inn rooms there is a queen bed and a Murphy bed. Like everything there, it is nice, there is a bathroom and a patio with a fantastic view. As shown, this is a fantastic resort, we go back here year after year. There is so much more I can talk about but you need to go there to see it yourself. read more

We spent a week relaxing and enjoying the resort. The pool area is very nice and has plenty of lounge chairs. The splash pad is adorable. The beach area is FANTASTIC! So clean and family friendly! Chairs, umbrellas, and a variety of beach equipment is available. They have beach wheelchairs that are free to use and are very helpful. There are daily activities available as well as cast-members who are able to answer questions about the sea turtles and other marine life. We look forward to visiting again! read more

I've been visiting this resort with my family since the very first summer that it was open. And while I'm sure that nostalgia plays a role in my love for Disney's Vero Beach, I truly think that it's genuinely a tranquil, relaxing, and well-run resort overall. The architecture, winding paths, rocking chairs, and lush vegetation all contribute to a feeling of calm and relaxation. Of course, the crashing waves that can be heard everyone on the grounds help as well. The resort offers private beach access, a pool with water slide and kids area, mini golf, a spa, fitness center, and kids activities. A daily planner includes a host of activities from campfire to yoga to outdoor movies to trivia and more. Of course, you also have your bars, quick service food, and a sit down restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although pricey, I thought the food options were quite good. Getting to Vero Beach is the only sticking point. You really must have or rent a car. But, on the positive side, having a car will allow you to leave property and enjoy some local restaurants and shops, should you want. Overall, I can't recommend this resort highly enough.! read more

Lovely location. I stayed here for a week with my Pandemic Pod. We were in one of the stand-alone cottages for most of the time and it was FAN. TAS. TIC. It was large, comfortable and clean. The cottage had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 upper decks, 2 lower porches/patios, a full kitchen....it was indulgent! Being able to safely get away with my framily (friend family...that is) was just what the doctor ordered. The beach area was cleaner than I had hoped for and easy to enjoy. The resort grounds were beautiful and felt safe, as you needed a key card to get back on the property from the beach. The staff followed and adhered to Covid safety measures and worked to make sure that all guests did as well. The pool area could get crowded but, as long as visitors followed the rules (which not all of them did) and were seated by staff, didn't move chairs around, and just sat with their group, it wasn't bad. The food and drink we got to-go from the on-site restaurant and bar and shops were very good. The bartenders were all absolutely fantastic and working extra hard, as they were doing double duty taking outdoor food orders and taking orders....they deserved every tip they got and then some. Eb & Flo's was where you went for fun-time-accoutrements. Towels for the pool or beach, floaties for your kids, suffle board tools, mini golf clubs and balls, renting a bike...the bike was a lot of fun to get to ride up the Jungle Trail to the nature preserve nearby and get to explore! I wish I had done it more than once. Across the street there is a nice short little trail and a pond to walk around and explore, as well as tennis and basketball courts. This place really has just about everything. And anything we called and asked about was handled. I would 100% stay here again. read more

We decided to spend a long weekend here after a few of our cruises cancelled but we still wanted some Disney spirit away from WDW. This beautiful resort is only a few hours away from Orlando and is the perfect getaway. There isn't much around to do outside of the resort and that is the charm of it. You feel like you are secluded and in your own little bubble. The service here is amazing. Every cast member said hi and greeted us warmly. Everyone we came in contact with was very helpful and warm. This reminded us of the level of Disney service you get on the ships as well. There were also a slew of activities to keep you busy. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. It is not a large resort. The beach is beautiful and picturesque. They were testing serving coffee drinks in the Bar area every morning which was nice. The bar, The Green Cabin Room, was a great place to get a drink each evening and had beautiful views of the ocean on the patio. The gift shop had a good selection of movies to rent as each room has a blu-ray player. We took advantage of this on one of the days when it was raining. We enjoyed the dining options. We ate at the Wind & Waves restaurant for dinner and breakfast and then used the quick service for all other meals. FYI if you book a deluxe studio you could end up either in the Inn (main building) or one of the villas. The inn studio rooms will have two queen beds, the villa studios will have a queen bed and couch and a slightly different layout. Our travel agent booked a studio thinking it was the Villa style one and when we got out in the inn we questioned it and were moved. Both rooms were nice just different styles. I would prefer next time to have a water view or not be right next to the pool. It was a little noisy with the pool right outside our door. And for how beautiful this resort was and not full it would have been to have an ocean view. We will definitely be back and have found a new getaway that is close to home but still feels like a world away. read more

I've been here many times, but I've never written a review. We just got back from a lovely weekend at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, and it is as relaxing and tranquil as the pictures make it out to be. The staff is friendly and welcoming, from the guard, to the front desk, to housekeeping and beyond. The pool is immaculate, the beach and amenities are wonderful. Being directly on the ocean can't be beat. The only issue we really had is that the inner shower curtain is fabric instead of plastic, and the water goes right through it like it isn't even there, quickly turning the bathroom into the Everglades. We spent way to much time mopping up water with towels we didn't have to spare. Even with the terrible water pressure, and extra towels on the floor, it was still a swamp after three showers. The on-site restaurant, Wind and Waves Grill is really good as well. Some highlights, the nightly pizza special, the French onion soup, the bread pudding, and that breakfast burrito. It's so good. The servers are really nice here as well. But the hidden gem may be the muffins at the Wind and Wave Market next door. Jesus man, those muffins are so good. We went back 3-4 times over the weekend for more muffins. Blueberry, pumpkin, apple, whatever they have, just try them. Kudos to the bakers, because you make excellent, better than homemade, fresh muffins. Great job! read more

We stayed here for a weekend with family. As soon as we arrived we had that super friendly, attentive Disney service. From checking in, to getting to the parking area, bar, pool, restaurant, everyone so polite, professional and nice. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived but we were allowed to enjoy all the amenities immediately. The pool had a DJ during the day, playing music, announcing birthdays, retirements, etc. They had dance contests, water slide contests, they have mini golf, and other games. The bar is right by the pool, and a quick snack/ food bar is right next door. The restaurant is just steps away, and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beach, also just steps away, clean, but make sure to reserve your chairs with the hotel (for extra $) or bring your own. The rooms were really nice, clean, comfortable and love the balcony each had. We got one of those family 2 bedroom with a kitchen suite. The bathrooms all had soaps, shampoos, towels, etc. The kitchen fully equipped with coffee machine, dishwasher, plates, utensils... Each room had a TV and the common area too. It also had a sofa bed and other pullout furniture, accomodationg up to 9-10ppl comfortably. Nice weekend getaway, to unplug/ unwind. read more

Checking in was quick and easy and the front desk team was very friendly and helpful and she gave me a first time button pin since I never been before the only thing is that the room wasn't ready until 3:30pm but I was able to hang out at the pool and beach until the room was ready! The dinner at the waves was good I had the bone in pork chop and egg and porky belly appetizer both was delicious! Connor and Tyler at the campfire was entertaining and helping us with making s'mores! The room I had was nice and clean and spacious with a balcony! I love this Disney resort on the beach it was a relaxing stay! read more

The hotel is set up very nicely. It has many rooms but still feels intimate. The food at the resort is alright, mid at best. Not bad; not great. The pool and access to the beach are one of the perks! Lots of areas for kids to play. The beach access is also great. Would highly recommend an ocean view room, it was super worth it. Loved the extra little perks in the rooms too from the dish soap, scrubber, to the nice coffee. One of the best parts was the level of cleanliness. The rooms were super clean the hotel, overall, was well kept. Staff friendliness was outstanding. Everyone greeted us or acknowledged us with a smile or were ready to assist. They even accommodated us with keeping things in the freezer. Great resort, will return! read more

That made us very happy. read more

Great scenery and access to the beach! There are shaded areas/ tents available to rent (Disney of course) but a lot of folks bring their own items. There's a bar and a small market poolside to grab a quick bite. At the time of this review you can purchase a refillable cup for $25, which can be used for sodas, coffee, etc. Be careful of turtle nest sites (marked) particularly if you have young children. The hotel is a bit dated but still quite nice with several dining options (convenience at a price and nothing special) You may arrive during "no-see-em" season which are Tiny bugs that are very hard to see and will bite you leaving you feeling itchy and irritated- Disney provides some spray but feel free bring your own just in case- Staff was very friendly and responsive to any inquiries and requests we had- The only downside to our stay is the noise- the doors are very heavy and the closures don't seem to do their job very well as all the doors in our hallway would slam shut. Very disruptive in the middle of the night. Having loud guest that shout and scream is to be expected with a family resort but they should really try to contain the noise factor from doors and internal plumbing. Our experience here was very relaxing and we even used the "hidden" gym which looked like a time capsule from the late 80's /early 90's. Hopefully the slamming of doors in the middle of the night will not bother you! read more

Pros: Great little resort. They have pool activities for kids and dj a few hours a day. The lobby has lots of arts and crafts for kiddos as well as games. The beach is pretty as well as the resort. Very calm family friendly vibe overall. They have the cutest little bunnies all over the property. Cons: Dinner - you must make reservations in advance or you're stuck with the fast food hut. Sat. Character meet and greet brunch 8-12 - must make arrangements welllll in advance otherwise you won't get a slot. The layout isn't conducive for bringing your own beach chairs/ tents through the lobby , and as for the beach it's a steep decline / drop off onto the beach. They have no see ems "bugs that bite" and have a cream to apply at various stations at this resort which seems to work but still.. read more

I was extremely impressed with this resort. It was very relaxing, and I enjoyed all of the activities offered. I stayed for one night, and stretched the fun out for two long days. My stay was in September, so if booking a trip soon keep in mind the pool and some amenities are closed until late November 2020. During my stay I enjoyed renting bikes to site see the area, playing mini golf, pool and water slide, and the beautiful walks on the beach. One thing that stood out to me is how friendly the cast were at this resort. The service was top notch from the moment I checked it, to the moment I left. With covid restrictions you are required to wear a mask unless swimming or eating. This was not a problem for me, and it seems as if all guest were following this rule. Cast members were also enforcing the policy. read more

Vero Beach continues to be one of my favorite Disney properties. It doesn't get better when the ocean is just steps away from your room. You can hear the waves into your room. The beach in winter is quite serene and you feel like you have the beach all to yourself. The heated pool at the center of the resort is so much fun and everyone loves the swirly water slide both kids and adults. My kid averaged about 4-5 hours a day in the pool. We used the quick food service quite often by theThey had plenty of healthy food options including fresh fruit and salads. Upon check in my family got our usual 2 BR villa but because someone had last minute cancelled their employee Tina was able to secure a studio for me. Everything was sold out so I was quite thrilled. We were able to use points to pay for the room. Disney could use another good restaurant on premises, more pastries, just more food options in general. They could do more fun drinks for kids like the parks. Their onsite restaurant is available to reserve on Open Table. I must mention the churros at the quick service. It is almost $6 for three puny pieces. I could not believe how tiny it was. Food isn't cheap especially with Disney but I was surprised at how tiny the churros were for this price. My kids got this several times and it killed me that they just got that not knowing. That amount should be free with a cup of cappuccino or latte. Overall, it is a wonderful escape any time of the year. The drive from MCO is an easy hour and change but every time we have done the drive there is no traffic. Once you're there the resort being small has lots of advantages. You never wait long for anything. read more

Update as of our visit this week (Nov 8-12) Our biggest complaint last visit was the food. This time the food was amazing! Every meal I had was delicious- even the grab and go Cuban sandwich I had on the first day! I had the catch of the day and after my first bite I knew I needed to update my review from years before! Our server was also great! I wish I remembered his name- but I do know he was earning his ears he brought out the chef for my 1 year old nephew and his allergies (everytime he ate a meal the chef was brought out even at the pool) and he was so understanding with dealing with a young child who was near his bed time. In addition, we did 3 of the cocktail tasting experiences at The Green Cabin Room! This is such a fun addition to the resort. Just wish the GCR was open earlier/later but I understand as we are in the off season and with COVID. We stayed in a cottage and we loved to updates from the last time we stayed in one! Thanks for such a great visit, we will of course be back! read more

It's hard to rate a Disney resort not 5 stars. As a vacation club member I've been spoiled by Disney for years. This is another classic Disney resort that does not disappoint. Whether it's hanging at the beach or the pool, walking the unique grounds, or hanging in the captains lounge style bar it's a great experience for all. The guest rooms are spacious and offer basically any ammentity you could need, including a full kitchen, washer and dryer area, and comfortable beds. Staff is very helpful and friendly and would do anything to make your stay better. As with every other Disney resort i highly recommend this. read more

Disney's Vero Beach Resort - Sunrise from my balcony - Hotels Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

This place was great to stay for a week. Extremely quiet and secluded unlike any other resort. There is not much to do here but the pool, slide, mini golf, shuffle board, billiards, beach, and events suffice for a week. This is a chill get away. The service here was great and everyone was friendly. There was one day that our room trash did not get taken by the staff and the trash is really small for 9 people so it was overflowing that day. Other than that though, the stay was great. read more

Old town quaint place. I am a DVC member so I general im obsessed with Disney. But vero beach resort is very special. It's a beautiful CLEAN beach. Has fun waves to boogie board but not too rough where you can't enjoy with kids. The beach is known to be a birthing place for loggerhead turtles so it's very well taken care of. I've stayed in two bedroom villas. The town house 3 bedroom and studio. All are great! This past weekend we stayed in 3 bedroom villa town house. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. You get a balcony to the beach. Listen to waves at night. Kitchen. Etc The resort has two market places (they close by 9pm) where you can buy little everyday things. And a restaurant. The restaurant can get pricey if you eat there everyday. Food between 15-32$ and drinks 15$ ish. But it's delicious. It's not out of this world incredible and fancy but whatever you order will be good. The pool has a bar and food to order too. Right now during pandemic you have to wear mask in public places except pool and beach. The rooms are cleaned and sanitized. It takes them up to 6 hours to clean a room after a guest! Very strict good guidelines on cleanliness. They disinfect all lounge chairs after family use Etc We love vero beach. It's quiet with Disney amenities and staff is always friendly. They'll have movie under stars etc. Great great vacation getaway with family. We can't wait to go back. I didn't give it 5 stars Bc only 1 restaurant and because it's a brand spanking new place but it is 5 star in quiet family vacation. It can get packed but lately with pandemic they restrict. Which honestly is better I think. :) read more

This is far from our first DVC stay but first at Vero. The property is very much a tucked away beach resort. The beach views are great but so much about this property is not up to what I would say is Disney standards. Number one on my pet peeve list is the beach access. There is a ramp to cabanas and umbrellas/ chairs which can be rented at a premium each day but there is no true beach access. It's literally a foot trail up the 12-15 foot incline from beach to "on property." I'm sure they had to build it up with beach erosion because there is definitely non-native sand on Disney's property, however there's no ease of access. Number two, is that the staff is basically non-existent. There's construction going on inside the lobby and so it is in temporary check in desk even if you've checked in online. Of course the Disney app does not work anywhere outside of Orlando so even if you check in online, there is no key card checking through the app. For the past two nights we have been here, we have spent the latter part of our evenings, sharing drinks just outside of the lobby or "the Inn" as it's called. Well, I woke up this morning to watch the sunrise and the chairs which were moved last night have not been put back (there was a wedding here yesterday too). There are still glasses and empty beer bottles from the people who left here at 11pm last night and I'm sitting here at 7am writing this. I would say very very little about this is actually "Disney" in terms of what you'd expect. No theme. Sometimes Jimmy Buffet music plays in the background. No hidden Mickey, granted that's fine by us. We came here to get away for 3 nights for a beach vacation and got a 1 bedroom studio in the Villas (highly recommend over the Inn, especially with construction). The rooms mid-week were about 10 points a piece. We brought our own beverages and some charcuterie for my the beach/ pool. The food options are SLIM on property. You've got the over-priced reservation only Wind & Waves sit down service, or the quick service market; We stayed on property last night for ease & had burgers, tacos, & nachos from the market & it's your typical almost fast food for about $10 a piece. You can get Dole Whip though at the market as well as other items for your room from muffins, to desserts to pantry items. You can order the same food from the sit down restaurant at the pool bar though. We also tried the bar in the Inn on the first night around 6pm and had kettle chips & dip (good little snack), and the charcuterie (pass on $15 for that though as it's very small for 1-2 as a snack only). The property is about a 15 minute drive or 8 miles either way down A1A to other food options. Everything in the area closes at 9pm during the week though for food so don't plan on a late night meal. There's no pizza delivery service although I'm sure they'd make a ton if there was for a quick option to have at the beach. All in all 4 stars for my experience, a much needed getaway, some of the most beautiful beach front I've been to stateside with gorgeous blue water, but the property albeit older, just needs more staff and maybe a few more options. The room itself is more than fine for my hubs and I. Queen bed, pull out sofa, 2 chairs and a table in the room to sit for a snack, mini kitchenette with coffee maker, sink, microwave, mini fridge (no freezer), and a toaster. There is a nice little two seat attached private patio too. We would definitely come back. Hopefully, the no-see-ums which are annoying at sunrise and sunset aren't always so bad (we're from North Central FL so we don't get them this bad at home ever really). This is a good couples get away, maybe just ok for small children with not a lot to offer outside of the pool or beach to entertain but each kiddo is different. Hope this gives you a good summation of what to expect and doesn't sound too negative. I just like to give transparency in a review. read more

See all

We've been coming here for 20 years. We love it! I am always happy to be here. The restaurant breakfast was really good and very reasonably priced. We had the biscuits and gravy bowl and steel cut oatmeal...both were excellent! (BUT It is time to get rid of raisins and substitute craisins!) The rooms are ready for a remodel... they smell musky! At least change the carpet! The no seeums are definitely bad here....you must wear bug spray! Someone suggested they should spray poison everywhere to get rid of them...ugh...they provide bug lotion in several locations...USE IT and take responsibility for yourself! The staff is awesome here! Great job! read more

We have been Disney DVC owners for over 15 years. The Vero Beach resort has been a welcomed addition to our Disney timeshare ownership experience. I have seen my oldest son as a baby run up and down the slide for hours screaming, catch me daddy! I would watch him get golden brown as my parents took turns with us catching him as he slid down the slide. Then, We'd get a bucket of fries and chicken fingers from the poolside bar and watch him devour everything in 90 seconds! When my youngest was born, he didn't want anyone to catch him. Different personality, he could do it all by himself. Later than night, we'd give them baths and get them dressed up in their PJs. We'd take them to the lobby and they'd watch cartoons with the other little kids. I remember my little guy drinking a milk bottle in his PJs, so cute. We rented a chartered sail boat one year for the 6 of us and we still talk about it to this day, Cap't Doug and Billy Bones! We always looked forward to coming to the beach and swimming, walking the sugar sand beaches and generally just relaxing. We've had a nice time every year we came. Now, my oldest is driving and my youngest is too cool to go down the slide. My parents are still with us but have a hard time walking into the pool. Its been a wonderful experience and the resort gave us a lifetime of memories. I look forward to the next 25 years. read more
